The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Faith of Men by Jack London: "Say, Bill, I've got a chechaquo on the string for a sack of

not over-plentifully supplied for the quest after Too Much Gold.
"Flour's worth a dollar a pound," he answered. "How like do you
calculate to get your finger on it?"

"What claim?" Bill was surprised. Then he remembered the
reservation he had staked off for the Swedes, and said, "Oh!"
"I wouldn't be so clost about it, though," he added. "Give 'm the
whole thing while you're about it, in a right free-handed way."
